Pesticide Importation

Hello, I’m trying to locate an definitive statement of what rodenticides and in what quantity I’m permitted to purchase in the USA and carry into Canada across the border. The products are commonly available at hardware stores such as Home Depot or online from Amazon.com. Most of the products that are available at hardware stores in Canada or Amazon.ca are useless. I would be purchasing the products from Amazon.com and having them delivered to a PO box in Blaine, WA. If you can help me with this, I would appreciate it. Thank you. Best regards, Daryl Morse. Coquitlam, BC

Pesticide Importation: You may be out of luck here –

a. Residents of Canada may purchase and import, from the United States and only for their own use, products registered with a NAFTA label. You may transport the product on your own, work together with a group of growers with a designated driver, or hire a customs broker or carrier – Click here

b. All pesticides imported into Canada must meet Canadian standards, i.e., be registered or scheduled under the Pest Control Products Act (PCPA), and bear the Canadian label – Click here

c. Starting April 18, 2018, you can no longer bring unregistered pesticides into Canada if they are not equivalent to those already registered in Canada for personal use in or around your home (i.e., Domestic Class products) – Click here . An equivalent pesticide is one that has the same active ingredient in the same concentration.

d. In addition, you will no longer be allowed to purchase unregistered pesticides online and have them shipped to Canada. The purchaser of the product must bring it into Canada in person – Click here
